Again Amazon refuses to let you guys have it.

Amazon allowed it on the Kindle 1. Then they got rid of it. Probably because there were a ton of problems with indexing the like and because the K2 could hold 2 GB worth of material. The K3 can hold 4 GB worth of material. Dropping the SD slot in favor of additional memory made the K2 thinner and lighter, something that is important to lots of people.
Most folks I know who have an e-reader have an MP3 player with much better capabilities then their e-reader.
The Kindle, and all e-readers, are meant to be readers first. The Kindle has the capacity to hold and play audiobooks and MP3's. It is pretty basic but that is because it is a reader, not an MP3 player. If I want to losten to music or a book, I'll use my IPod not my Kindle.
